This is just another aspect of the failure to foster a positive society. The rich who are balls deep in AI don't give a fuck about what happens at a societal level. They want numbers to go up and the result is dumb people in charge of things they shouldn't be in charge of.
Yes, I would also prefer that servers were community run as in the hl2 days.
I would still argue that there are technical issues leading to some amount of cheating. In extraction shooters like Hunt Showdown, Escape From Tarkov and a few others, people can run pcie devices that rip player location and other information from the machines memory in order to inject it into an overlay with a 2nd computer, and they do go to these lengths to cheat, giving them a huge advantage. It wouldn't be possible to rip that info from memory for these "ESP cheats" if the server didn't needlessly transmit position information for players that aren't actually visible. IMO this is a technical failure. There are other steps that could be taken as well, which just aren't because they're hard.
No, game companies are simply unwilling to pay for the talent and man hours that it takes to police their games for cheaters. Even when they are scanning your memory and filesystem they don't catch people running the latest rented cheat software.
It could be a side effect of China pursuing more markets, having more industry, and not financializing/profit-optimizing everything. Their economy isn't universally better but in a broad sense they seem more focused on tangible material results, less on rent-seeking.
It's actually very easy for skilled people to deliver good products when they aren't just tasked with sucking off shareholders. Public trade of companies makes them worse every time.
That rebranding of DEI is hilariously childish in an entertaining way, while deepening my loathing for the people behind it. I respect the choice to refuse those terms. Even organizations that aren't heavily focused on/invested in outreach and inclusion should refuse to accept those terms.
US education covers that much pretty well. Just not so much the geography of specific countries that belong to south america, europe, asia, and africa.
This doesn't directly answer your questions, but I can share one example where our sensitivity to phase information becomes apparent: when you play the sound of a pair of hands clapping. It's a great test case for hearing when a set of speakers has phase alignment problems, which is underappreciated as a metric for speaker systems. (It's rare even for experts to put a lot of effort into uniform phase response when designing speakers. It's one of the hardest things to manage. Frequency response, harmonic distortion levels, dispersion and even aesthetics usually take priority.)
Likewise, if you mess with the phase alignment of different frequencies in a hand clap sample and play it through an otherwise phase-coherent source like ear buds or headphones, the misalignment is really obvious.
Let's not pretend these are machines for hardcore computing jobs which belong on servers in terms of work/cost. Apples laptops are still amazing because we can do crazy amounts of work quickly without running out of battery. The edit, recompile, test loop is fast for programmers equipped with these expensive machines. And you can carry them everywhere without much risk of failure.
Quic is a corporate supported black hole. Corporations are anti-human. Its a wonder that there is still some freedom to make useful protocols on the internet and that people are nice enough to do that
Listen to this guy defend trash web browsers to support google! Tell me more about how traditional forums are unacceptable and your daddy with billions for shareholders but not customers has the right idea.
I could make cool websites for the losers who rob everyone around them but the type of people who make a business out of online behavior are actually terrible greedy folks.
Unfortunately efficient CSS is a lost cause. I love doing this kind of work and making single page efficient product. Unfortunately no one cares how you spend your bytes because it's a battle between sociopaths and everyone tired of their shit.
I'm on board with not censoring the army of agenda driven liars on 4chan but I just want people to know that they do make up lies and shift public opinion on the payroll of despotic oligarchs. There is no political truth to be had on any "chan" because there is a group or groups working hard to spread lies and set every visitor off course.
I think you should de-peer from the internet, as someone not interested in pursuing a utilitarian ideal. You have misunderstood what 'the problem' is, like most parasites with a god complex.
Have you considered that spreading false information is common on that forum that i should simply not attend? Maybe the idiots you talk to on 4chan should be held to a higher standard? Or do you think "doing your own research" means believing in the first thing a right wing retard news source tells you?
So true! I wish people would stop eating up the false information from 4chan and whatever else chan, 8chan apparently but the reference got removed. Its a cesspool.
I don't think censorship is a good thing unless it's censoring concerted efforts to spread false information which reshape the political landscape. You are underselling the bullshit that you say "8chan admins" were responsible for. It's inexcusable.
I'm not upset about the content aside from it being a clear devious effort to spread lies and shift public opinion.
Stop framing it as something different. No one with a brain is buying it, and yes, we are pissed.
This is really important. It's time to take history into our own hands given the penchant for erasure by the elites and how dumb the elites have become.
It's just a different version of the same thing. In chinas case, they aggressively locked down internet influence. In the wests case, they held off a bit and made up bullshit reasons like saving the children with age verification. I cant stand this version of the 'free' west where they promote totalitarian information control and demand real IDs. This is nazi shit.
I'm all about liberal freedom, but blocking 4chan would actually help society given how abused it is by counter-intelligence. There is bullshit spewed there constantly and no one should be subject to that trash in a functioning society.
